Here’s a cool website - a compendium of games which while originall commercially released have since been released for free to the public. Many have also had their source code released in one form or another. Some of these releases have led to excellent modern implementations of old, classic games, whilst others are languishing. Find a local programmer and incent him to get to work on one of your old favorites. Me, I’d love to see a project manager take over the Freespace 2 project - technically some of the stuff that’s been released using that code is excellent, but it’s all over the map, and from an outsider peering in, it looks like they need a project manager to bring order (and discipline) to the chaos. Which is a shame, since it’s the finest space sim ever, by a long shot.

of course topcat then pointed me at this:

where the freespace2 folk do seem to be managing things. I still think trying to install any of that stuff is an exercise in ‘doh, you broke my game!’ though.
